The crosstown rivals split in doubles play with Huron taking the even flights (No. 2 and No. 4) and Pioneer the odd, making for an exciting end to a long day for the two teams.

“These finals matches against Pioneer have been just awesome,” said Huron coach Robbie Risdon. “It was fun to watch, really fun to watch from everybody.”

Pioneer coach Tom “Brick” Pullen believes his team missed some opportunities to get in good position at the state meet.

“We needed to win a couple more matches to get some good seeds at the state meet, and that’s why I’m disappointed,” Pullen said. “Four doubles I think could have put it away better, but Huron doubles played very well, I gotta give them all the credit there.”

Skyline finished the tournament in fourth place with 15 points and Lincoln had a single point.
